Salama Stove Kilimanjaro Fundraiser
Donation protected
Hi,
My name is Todd. Ever since I can remember, I've been passionate about hiking, exploring and travelling . I love challenging myself and have climbed peaks throughout the world.
For a decade I have been working in countries across Africa, South Asia and the Caribbean, delivering field studies and projects to do with stoves ... Yes, stoves!
Because while in the US and Europe cooking and heating are as easy as turning a dial, in many other parts of the world they can mean years of inhaling dangerous smoke and risking debilitating burn injuries.
For this reason, starting on August 30th, I will be climbing Mt Kilimanjaro - Africa's tallest peak - with my friend Jamin Silverstein.
We will be raising funds for Salama Stove, an organization that produces safe, clean burning stoves in Kenya.
The Salama Stove is designed to minimize the risk of burns and reduce toxic smoke (which causes respiratory diseases, eye problems and cancer) as well as saving Kenyan families some precious time and money by increasing fuel efficiency.
Watch this video or visit the website if you want to know more about Salama Stove and the person behind the organization, plastic surgeon Dr Coleen Stice.
None of the money raised thorugh this campaign will go towards paying for the hike. Your donations will all go towards creating safer and healthier environments for families in Kenya and will go a long way in helping us reduce the risk of burns in children.
Salama Stove is a registered 501c3 Organization which means it is non-for-profit and all donations are tax deductbile.
What your donations can do:
$50 will fund a training session in a burns ward to educate women and children on the risks of cooking on three stone fires.
$100 will go towards the installation of Salama Stoves in two households.
$150 will pay for the manufacturing and installation of a Salama Stove in a family home.
Asante Sana! (Thank You Very Much!)
